Abstract
This article describes the state of knowledge regarding gender differences with respect to hip fracture and its subsequent outcomes. Most of the work to date investigating hip fracture patients has been done with women, yet some evidence from a few studies with a significant number of male hip fracture patients and from nonfracture samples suggests that women and men may be different at the time of fracture and will have a different course of recovery.
